MRR/ARR & Churn Tracker implementation

A source-bound implementation contract for MRR/ARR & Churn Tracker; deployment and executable qualification remain separate.

Status: VERIFIED_WITH_ERRATALifecycle: implementation-contract

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Input and validation requirements

A zero starting_MRR causes net churn, gross churn, and growth to divide by zero and produce undefined results. The specification also does not define any actual formula branch or explicitly define whether churned_MRR is a positive loss magnitude or a signed movement.
